The Kennebec Journal says former Augusta resident Alfred J. Conrad was among eight Scout leaders in Maine identified in October in decades of files detailing sexual abuse allegations that were released after news organizations won a court case against the Boy Scouts of America.

Conrad, now living in Lawrence, Mass., said his actions haunt him nearly 30 years after he was sentenced for gross sexual misconduct and unlawful sexual contact. The 67-year-old says he regrets what happened and has "kept away from youths" since then.

A day after Trevor Noah was declared the new host of "The Daily Show," complete with the blessing of the exiting Jon Stewart, graphic tweets targeting women, Jews and victims of the Ebola virus are causing a social media backlash.
